Foodblogging: simple tomato basil soup

I haven't written a homecooking foodblog in a while. I don't have pretty pictures today but I do have a really simple recipe that turned into an absolutely fantastic quick dinner.
Tomato Basil Soup

1 14.5 oz can chicken broth
2 14.5-oz cans crushed tomatoes
1 tsp sugar
1 stem's worth of fresh basil, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup butter
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

Bring chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, and crushed red pepper to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and remove from heat. Stir until butter melts.

Serves 4-6
We also had crab cakes from Trader Joe's. Total time spent on dinner: 20 minutes.
